I don't think we should ban until IamNobuddy shows a pattern of continuing to post things from utubepublisher.in. They's seemingly-habitually posted these links for a very, very, very long time and their posts two weeks ago here were the reason I issued the utubepublisher.in clarification. But I think after this warning we should remove the user's utubepublisher.in posts on sight.

Your submission in "How the diamond industry lost its sparkle" was removed for schadenfreude.

 

Over the past week, I've seen a lot of discontent on this source, which gets a lot of deserved flak for seeming like a content farm that adds little to its original sources.

I discussed this with @sga013@lemmy.world, who pointed out that we do actually have a rule against such outlets instituted in the "no schadenfreude" post:

We are also banning low effort news or fake news. This could be news which is not adding anything new at all or is a copy of a copy of a copy (and bad one). Please try to fetch original sources. This is just to maintain a standard. This does not restrict you from posting a news which is targeted at a small group, or is published by a small group which may not be publishing a very fancy, furnished looking posts. Essentially - a no fluff rule.

This applies very much to www.utubepublisher.in . I've added a mention of the above rule to the sidebar, and please take care to not post articles like that of this outlet from now on. Instead, post the original sources of the article topic, even if they are videos.

Your submission in "An Italian mechanic Andrea Marazzi has transformed a 1993 Fiat Panda into the world’s narrowest electric car, bringing innovation, nostalgia, and sustainability together on four wheels." was removed for: borderline. i held off on removing this since i felt like the sheer will here to create a better thing is uplifting and inspring but then I also don't want this sub to turn into the "cool DIY products" place..

This is a bit bordering against the rules on schadenfreude, so I hope the comments here can focus on trans, nonbinary, intersex etc. passport changes being allowed instead of the Trump administration being blocked.

Your submission in "Jury finds MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell liable for defamation, orders him to pay $2.3M in damages " was removed for being schadenfreude.
